## Summary

Oxford Brookes University bought O’Reilly for Higher Education, an online learning resource for use by its students and staff. The procurement is for access to a digital resource rather than physical goods or on-site services. Its service category is database services. The named buyer is Oxford Brookes University, based in Oxford, and the resource is for university users. The published contracting information does not describe particular course subjects, platform features, user numbers or technical integrations, so the requirement should be understood as provision of the O’Reilly higher-education resource, rather than a broader digital-library or IT project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Clarivate Analytics (UK) Limited without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 April 2029. Its gross value is USD 78,913.70. One lot is recorded, and the award is active. The requirement was identified as database services; no separate evaluation criteria or comparative assessment are recorded, consistent with the direct award route. The selected supplier is Clarivate Analytics (UK) Limited. The dates and value relate to the contract for the O’Reilly for Higher Education online resource for student and staff use.

For suppliers competing when Oxford Brookes next buys this specific type of resource, credibility will depend on being able to provide a higher-education online learning resource for both students and staff, supported by an established database or digital-content service. The award indicates a single-lot purchase and a direct, below-threshold route, with Clarivate Analytics (UK) Limited selected. A competitor would need to show that its offering meets the university’s educational use case and can be delivered as a coherent resource for institutional users. The procurement gives no basis to infer particular subject coverage, usage volumes, integration requirements, service levels or accreditation requirements; capability claims should therefore focus on the stated O’Reilly-style higher-education resource, rather than unrelated technology or library services.
